Update: Re-admittance now allowed at FPSF gates

Update: We have learned that security at Free Press Summer Fest gates is now allowing people to leave the show freely and get their wristbands re-scanned upon re-entry.

Asked why the policy was changed, a festival official said festival-goers asking questions about “an Internet story” and the reentry policy caused a big backup at the gate, so the policy was changed.

General admission tickets to FPSF were mailed with a yellow card explaining in and out access to the show. Instructions indicated a need to get your wrist band scanned on your way out in order to come back with a warning that if you do no get it scanned you will not be allowed back in. The gate is not allowing anybody with GA tickets to leave.

Attendants directed complaints to a nearby manager who explained quickly that the cards were not printed by the festival and are a mistake. He said they are not responsible for honoring them since they didn’t print them.

No in and out access for GA tickets is allowed and sounds like it was never planned. –Cory Heikkila
